A lot of decorating has to do with creativity and exploration. That is, try something a bit creative and if it doesn’t work, try it again and again until you wind up with a look that works.

That being said, there are some basic guidelines that will help you get better results. These are ideas that are tried and true, but won’t take years for you to master. Anyone can learn a thing or two from these tricks. So if you want to decorate your home’s interior, take the following tips into consideration.

Know How to Arrange Furniture on a Rug

Calling your Las Vegas Oriental rug cleaning service is only the beginning of your quest for a better-looking interior. Now that your rug is clean, you need to learn how to arrange furniture on it. There are three ways in which this can be accomplished

If the rug is large enough, make sure you get all four legs of the furniture placed on it. This creates a feel that is luxurious and bigger. And as we all know, bigger is better. Just make sure you have at least a foot to a foot and a half of floor surface on all sides of the rug borders.

If the rug is in a small room, keeping all of the legs of the piece of furniture off the rug is an effective choice. You want it to appear as though the rug could touch right under the legs of the piece of furniture.

The last way is to place just the front legs of the furniture n the rug, this creates a well-defined look.

Pick Your Paint Color Last

Most people start with a paint color they like and try to work around it. Unfortunately, though this seems logical, it just doesn’t work. Wait until you have picked out curtains, furniture and everything else you want in the room and then decide what color would look good on the walls. You will find more success and less frustration in doing so.

Hang That Picture the Right Height

Museums hang their art so that the average person sees it at eye level, you should do the same. People tend to hang art a little too high, especially in rooms with tall ceilings. But remember that art needs to hang in relation to a human scale and not the scale of a room.

Create a Focal Point

In a movie, there are leading roles and then a supporting cast, the same is true in a room in your home. Find something and make it the focal point, whether it is a massive fireplace, headboard in the bedroom or hood in the kitchen.

A thicker pile isn’t always better.

Don’t equate thick pile with quality. Some of the highest quality rugs you’ll see will be quite thin. The key is understanding what kind of rug should go where. For instance, an expensive, thin-pile rug will suffer in a high-traffic area. Get a rug with some thick toughness if it’s going to need to stand up to consistent wear and tear.

Understand pile height.

If you aren’t sure which pile height is which, here is a helpful guide:

Low: less than ¼”

Medium: ¼” to ½”

Long/Plush: ½” to ¾”

Some shag piles go even longer than this, but we hope this guide helps you feel a bit more familiar with the concept of pile.

A shorter pile is a stronger pile.

A rug with shorter pile will last longer than a rug with long pile. Why? Because short pile is both easier to vacuum and less susceptible to damage.

Furniture will have an impact on the pile.

The longer the pile of your rug, the more vulnerable it is to being crushed by the feet and bases of furniture. All furniture generally leaves some sort of indentation on carpeting, but if you have a rug you treasure for softness, you might want to keep it out from under your furniture.

Long pile rugs must be cleaned with care.

Your vacuum can catch the pile on shag and long-pile rugs, causing damage. Be careful when you clean your rugs (better yet, let us do it).
